Winston's people were intent on copying the original design as closely as possible and Cameron already had an idea for the Queen. There wasn't anything new Giger could have contributed to.http://www.hrgiger.com/james_cameron.htm

Quote from: aliennaire on Jan 16, 2012, 11:29:05 PMNevertheless he is mentioned in the closing titles as author of original Alien design, even if he was not involved into production.
Quote from: Valaquen on Jan 15, 2012, 09:49:21 PMGiger's fine with the fact that he didn't get to work on ALIENS: "James Cameron's sequel, Aliens, was a great film, but I wasn't invited to work on it. My designs were already done, so they didn't need me."

QuoteSame as the original characters are credited as being 'based on' O'Bannon's, even for 'Alien Versus Predator'.

He was interested in Cameron's Queen design and then I'm going to have to look for that interview where he said that he would have designed it somewhat differently himself
